voices of the many
speak even while you sleep
follow me they whisper
inspired swimmers in the flow
dream catchers
warning pitches
entertainment in between
attracting light and butterfly
reflect affect or rectify
tune ups for the dance
outside is Moon
#prompt gazers pausing to
open the gate🪶

Reflected by lake’s mirror
Pleases the vain moon

Just what was needed on this dark, dreary morning 🙃
I like piffle,
Nonsense, too.
Whimsy and
Flapdoodly-doo.

If it makes sense
It's not for me.
I like rhymes
All about wee.

Flong and posh
Nyuck and splosh.
Bingle-bongle
Nosh-Nosh-Nosh!

So, to the end
Of this old guff.
See you soon
For more daft stuff.

December:

Ancient month of death.
Winter locked, spring far away.
Nadir of the year.

I appear to still slip into gothic horror mode occasionally. I blame Mary Shelley this time

Today marks 18 years that I've been free from a very dark world of heavy drug addiction. A world wherein you don't ever call the cops, no matter what has happened to you. Yay, me. Lucky me.

『Sinner』

How am I to #mend
My long-severed wing
When its #feathers fill
Pillows of hell’s king?

How should I escape
The #flames of my fate
When heaven refused
My soul at its gate?

I’d had the last line in my head for a while but held onto it. Knew it’d come in handy sooner or later 🙃🏴‍☠️

Swim 2 me, weary sailors
Abandon ur worn out ships
Escape the cage of ur age
2 taste the youth from my lips
Let me drown all ur sorrows
Where there r no tomorrows
Come lay ur head on my chest
My song shall lull u 2 rest

It certainly feels like the brakes don’t work on this chassis. The paintwork’s peeling too 😆

I did a bunch of verses/poems/call them what you will thingies during Halloween so I’ll add them here over time. I’m also currently reading Dracula so the subject matter is fresh in my mind 🦇

This is the kind of poem my brain decides to start developing when I’m trying to sleep.
This is why I’m tired ALL the time

I find the threat of
Solitary confinement
Greatly appealing
The promise of peace and quiet
Is no punishment at all

At night
You wake up inside me
Standing
Waiting to hear my plea

We merge
As raw as one can be
Until
Our voices are set free

Of love
I am the door, you see
You are
The one and only key

Piece by piece

A very dark tune from a long while ago. Writing and Music gift us a way out of the depths, often I think protecting us from considering harmful alternatives.

Thanks for listening.🪶
